Google lets public install AI-made Android apps and offers free paper-checking tool
What happened
Google opened two AI services to the public in mid-October. Users can now install Android apps generated by Google's AI, built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, for private personal use. Google also launched Deep Review, a free tool that reads academic papers and technical documents to find logical contradictions and insufficient evidence, available worldwide with up to two free reviews per week.
Why it matters
You can now use AI to build a working Android app for your own use without knowing how to code. The paper-checking tool gives you a free way to verify the logic of technical documents before you rely on them.
Who's doing it
Google released both features to the general public. Deep Review succeeds an earlier tool called Paper Assistant Tool (PAT), also built by Google.
Try it
- Search for Google's AI app generation feature and follow the prompts to create a simple app, such as a habit tracker, for personal use on your Android phone.
- Visit the Deep Review tool, upload a technical document or academic paper, and run a review to see flagged logical issues.
- Repeat up to twice per week for free if you need to check additional documents.

Karen what's the catch
So I can build a "personal use" app but Google gets to decide what personal means? And what happens to MY data inside these AI-generated apps? WHO is collecting what?
The Professor fact check
Deep Review succeeds the earlier Paper Assistant Tool, also from Google. The two free reviews per week limit is worth noting before relying on it for regular work.
The Yinzer
Two paper checks a week for free. That's like giving yinz one slice of pizza and charging for the rest. Typical jagoff move.
The Boss hype translator
This is democratizing no-code app development with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. Translation: Google's AI writes the app so you don't have to hire someone like me.
